THE PEkRysBURG $ C10OLS,
EDITOR JOURNAL Some weeks since
the following petition was filed with
our B oard of Education at its last regu-
lar meeting, prior to the organization
of the new Board. At that meeting the
Board thought proper to defer any ac.
tion on the petition until lie new Board
was organized, On last evening at a
regular meeting of the new Board, all
members being present except DR..
Rheinfrank, the matter was called up,
the petition was read by the Clerk, and
a general denial of the charges therein
contained was read by Prof. Bateman.
MIR. Hayes stated that as no specifi
charges were made in the petition he
was at loss to know what action the
Board could take in the matter. Mr..
Lindsay thought the charges made were
all based on hearsay, and for his part he
was in favor of throwing the petition in
the stove. After these expressions OF
opinion motion made by Mr.. Yeager
to lay the petition on the table was
unanimously carried, and there | presume
it will lay unmolested until the indigna>
ton of the people can be controlled no
longer, and the Board is compelled to
take some action looking to the relief
of the schools. 1t is not often that
respectable petition signed by reputable
citizens in regard to matter so i'm
portant, is thus summarily disposed of.

THE PETITION
70 Ae Board Of Education of School District
No. l, Rerrysb,ug, Ohio:
GENTLEMEN The undersigned say
they are taxpayers and patrons of the
Schools In said district and most deeply
interested in their welfare and prosper
ity. and believing that you share that
| feeling with us we assume that you ac-
cepted the positions as members of said
Board with view to subscribing the
best interests of said Schools and of the
pupils to be instructed therein.
Knowing that "to err is human" we
can only believe that any apparent acts
| of commission or omission on your part
which have been, are, or may seem to
be detrimental to the best interests of
the Schools may result from an over
Jealous desire on your part to do the
greatest good to the greatest number" !"
We further assume that when the fact
is once established beyond any reason
able controversy and by multitude of
witnesses" that the Schools or any one
or more of them under your control
and in the success and prosperity of
| which you should have an equal inter-
est with ourselves-are rapidly degen-
Grating through want of proper man
agement, or instruction, or boh, that
you will not hesitate to make, or cause
20 be made, any and all changes that
may seem to be required to restore them
to that enviable position once occupied
by them among the educators of the
State, as the Model School,"
Will you ask us to particularize Is
not the simple statement of grievance
by those who are presumed to have, and
who in fact do have, at least an equal
interest, both pecuniary and educational
with yourselves in the success of ouI
Schools, sufficient inducement to cause
you to make that inquiry, and investi.
CATION, and take such action as the ext
gencies of the case may seem to de.
mand Will it not be sufficient for us
to say in general terms-and we do sc
advisedly-that the lack of proper dis
cipline, and want of government, and
thorough instruction in our Schools
and which has now continued for
months, has produced such a state of
disorder and decentralization, that q
further continuance of the Schools in
their present condition, will be of ines
timable damage to the pupils in attend.
